A large class with 1,000 students took a quiz consisting of ten questions. To get an A, students needed to get 9 or 10 questions right. To pass, students needed to get at least 6 questions right.
Let X be the number of questions a student got right. The distribution of X is given below.

xP(x)00.0410.0720.0930.1440.1650.0460.0870.1280.1590.06100.05x012345678910P(x)0.040.070.090.140.160.040.080.120.150.060.05

a) If a student is selected randomly from the class, what is the probability he got an A on the quiz?

b) How many students got an A on the quiz?

c) How many students did not miss a single question on the quiz?

d) If a student is selected randomly from the class, what is the probability he passed the quiz?

e) How many students passed the quiz?

f) How many students failed the quiz?

g) If a student is selected randomly from the class, what is the probability that student got at least one question right?

We consider the experiment of picking a point at random from the interval (0, 1). The sample space for this experiment is the interval (0, 1). We consider three sequences of events in this sample space En = ( 1 n , 1) Fn = (1 − 1 n , 1), Gn = ( 1 2 − 1 2n , 1 − 1 2n ), n positive integer. (a) Is (En) ∞ n=1 increasing, decreasing, both, or neither? (b) Is...

In this problem there are two random variables X and Y. The random variable Y counts how many times we roll the die in the following experiment: First, we flip a fair coin. If it comes Heads we set X= 1 and roll a fair die until we get a six. If it comes Tails, we set X= 0 and roll the die until we get an even number (2, 4 or 6). a). What are the possible values taken...
